Hey deepak :slight_smile:

I don’t understand your question.
Are you asking if when a user uses the search, it triggers a sidekick job and if it does, which one(s)?

Hi Deepak,

Could you tell us why you’d want to know this? :slight_smile:
It’s used for a variety of purposes, such as sending email, granting badges and many more.

If you’re asking if it’s optional: no it is not.
